Influences On And Development Of John Dos Passos' Collectivist Technique, William Alfred Evans

English Language and Literature ETDs

Few writers in the history of American literature have evoked as much controversy as has John Roderigo Dos Passos; the greater part of the controversy, however, has been centered in his social and political attitudes rather than in his literacy achievements. His social and political attitudes have been discussed at great length, particularly during the past thirty years. But only recently have critics begun to evaluate Dos Passos’ literary successes properly and to set him in his rightful place in American literature as an effective and powerful innovator of a special kind of technique in the novel, the collectivist technique.

Milton And Marvell--And Samuel Parker, Henry F. Lippincott Jr.

English Language and Literature ETDs

This thesis explores the ways in which Samuel Parker, an obscure philosopher and theologian who became Bishop of Oxford, played a role in the literary relationship of John Milton and Andrew Marvell. Chapter I gives the sketchy biographical facts which link the three men. As a Latin Secretary to Oliver Cromwell, Milton helped the young Marvell advance his prospects until Marvell ultimately became a Member of Parliament and a government emissary. But as Marvell rose in political circles, Milton gradually retired from public life. Perhaps to repay past favors, Marvell defended Milton from scurrilous attacks by Parker and his followers …

Echoes Of Eliot's The Waste Land In Three Modern American Novels, Ruth Elliott

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This essay demonstrates how three popular writers of the twentieth century have created novels that contain echoes of Eliot's poem. They are F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (1925), Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises (1926), and John Steinbeck's To a God Unknown (1933). I chose these particular novels because they exemplify widely different and distinctive echoes of the poem. Fitzgerald's use of waste land imagery is readily perceptible the most effective in defining and summing up the temper of the Jazz Age in America. Hemingway's borrowing lies principally in parallel characterization (Jake Barnes as he Fisher King is the …

The Problem Of Satan In Milton's Paradise Lost, Jeanne Saunders

Master's Theses

By 1641 John Milton had prepared a rather detailed outline for a tragic drama, Adam Unparadised. The design was to take form and grow, not as a religious drama, but as a magnificent epic poem which would "assert Eternal Providence,/And justify the ways of God to men" (I.25-26). In the original design for the drama the character and person of Satan did not constitute a basis for sustained interest. However, when Paradise Lost was finished in 1665, this was no longer the case; Satan, as an historical figure treated by the poetic and religious imagination of Milton, emerged as one …

Rhetorical Patterns In The Poetry Of Andrew Marvell, Elizabeth Hughes Pole

Master's Theses

The two-fold insight that derives from this study is, on the one hand, the increased understanding of Marvell's use of language in both early and late poems and, on the other, the increased understanding of the rhetorical movements. The reader of Marvell's poems is possessed of a sensitivity to his poetry that is based on an awareness of his rhetoric as idiosyncratic and as reflective of the habits of the age.

The Ubermensch-Artist Of Friedrich Nietsche And Thomas Mann, Dale Whitney

Honors Projects

There is at once a thin line and an enormous gulf between the artist-philosopher and the philosopher-artist. Where one spreads out his ideas in a dazzling and often bewildering array, the other builds a framework with them and constructs the fictional experiences of a latent philosophy. Where Nietzsche exultantly screams an aphorism, Mann constructs a novel.

Herman Melville's Use Of Nature In The Encantadas And Selected Poems, Patricia Hogan

English Language and Literature ETDs

The apparent indifference of nature toward man is a characteristic feature of Herman Melville’s writings that marks a distinction between Melville and his contemporaries, the romantics. Although Melville writes during the romantic period in American Literature and is both a romantic and a transcendentalist in many of his attitudes, he does not fully share the optimism and the worship of nature that was strong in the United States during the pre-Civil war period. In Britain the confidence of romanticism was giving way to the skepticism of the Victorians as Melville began his literary career. Melville’s own attitude of question, doubt, …
